this may sound funny......but...
how many of you stomp[ your devices ] with your right , left, or both
feet. for example:
i use just use my right foot for all foot control if i have to sing and play at the same time. i use less stuff if i'm sing'n too.
but if all i do is play the neo-guitarwashedupsubhero i'll use the left foot
for stomp'n and the right for volume and wha stuff.
thanx,
pedalpals,

I play right handed and stomp left footed :wink:
Is this for that Reeeealllyy big box?
I use the right foot, but sometimes use the left foot.
Hi Tom,
Usually with my right.
Jim
Raising my right foot... that balances out when you factor in guitar neck weight...
The right one 8)
It's the one that keeps moving anyway...
both :D
Another right footer here.
-Peter
Right ONLY! It seems very unnatural to switch with my left ;)
Brad
Hi,
i'm bipedal.
also ambifooterus.
sometimes, when i want 2 turn the knobs,
i switch with my fingers.
i'm looking 4 a thought-switching system.
but i keep switchin thoughts.
what was i typing about?
t who
:-)
both feet
both
Right-handed guitar, right-footed stomper. Left foot just seems to get in the way of playing.
Right handed. Right foot stomper. Was a goofy foot (right foot forward) surfer.

yes sir,
you are right!!!!
cool, the deal is this, i want to do a a control switch chain that is most useful.
this is the forum that brings thinking people together and i dig the input of all pedalpals
thanx for aaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll input.
- tom
Right here. :?
right foot stomper, except for wah pedals and such, left foot there
Right foot, no question about it... and i NEVER wear shoes while playing either =D. I have my own mat i bring when i play too.
-sic
Right, but I've been wanting to use both feet at the same time, but I keep falling down. Geez I hate gravity!

right stomp, so I can better see where hittin`, with no git-neck in the way..
Right maybe, but I could try left, too. But for wah maybe right is what I would start.
I did that brain dominance test (I dont remember the if link was at AMZ or did mr. Jack post it in the distortion audio test thread or some other discussion... :oops: or was it some brainwave control circuits discussion. I believe there lives a little lefty handie inside me (I draw and write with left hand but play "normal"), and perhaps I am little bit some sicko mixture mutant :evil:
if i am singing lead.... which is abou 25% i only use my left foot. otherwise i tend towards my left, but will use both. Always use right for wah though. what is sort of wierd is i always switch behind the beat, unless i intenionaly switch early. What is really wierd is i've sort of incororated that in to my style.
Brian
I'm a left-footer, but stomp with the right. Seems like I'm in good company!
for the "whackawhacka"..always the rightie...for the little silverbuttons..wichever is not supporting the rest of me at that time...
Johan
Right foot always.
I'm right footed but a normal (left foot forward) snowboarder. :D I sometimes use my left for wha/volume but that's when my right foot is tired :D
definately right!
Right when it's only 1 pedal I'm stomping, left when the right is occupied :)
-Colin
Both. I'm right handed, but my pedalboards are set up on both sides of me, so when I'm at the mic, I must hit pedals on the left and right. There was a time when I'd try to hit one on each side at the same time!
Roger
right
98% right here. I have a FULL 32x16 board. When I do use my left, I feel like I'm going to fall over, but then again my right leg is longer than the left, so that may have something to do with my right preference! :lol:!!
Troubled Tom! How are things going in the world of Troubled Variance?
I'm a natural born lefty. I do everything left-handed except when it comes to guitar, which I play right-handed. I also stomp with my right foot. I guess being left-handed and left-footed are two different things ;)
Phillip
Almost always switch with the right foot. I also often place the footswitch of my diy projects in the bottom right corner rather than the center. Coincidence? Ergonomic stompboxes anyone? If I ever sell them, I'll be sure to point that out. Maybe I'll offer a left-footed option as well...for an extra cost of course. :wink:

things at TV are hecktick . i'm at my witt's end. it happens to all the small bizz men. i make all the pedals so i don't have a tax wright off . and i don't like the bizz thang. it's a hassel.
frankly, if i'd didn't have a spark in my soul to make devies , i'd say
@#$% this shit. but i just cant stop , i need help and cant find any.

Tom,i asket about the vietnamese people if they could eventually make boxes but you were right;nothng for them is interesting unless you are talking really big numbers.My neigbour,who is running the SS factory doesn`t bother ordering under 10000 pieces a time because only then it is worth the trouble of importing he told me.
As for stomping i use my right foot all the time.
Greetings,Ed
i like to thank ALL the pedalpals for all the cool input. :D
i'm making the OW and a lot of thought has gone into it. i've been
politely forced to add the device to my line.
i'm back ordered up the ass.
i may be offering ...............it's gonna be a while........ in the future
some kool enclosures and perhaps different foot controllers . we'll see!!
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the coolist forum on the the net , the only one i read or post on. i don't even post on the commonsound forum. and that's a drag
for those brothers of mine. i can't type . it takes forever :oops:
wishing all happiness and good health

one thing that i'd to make clear. if i do sell enclosures this not to compete w/ small bear. it'll be something he does't sale. steve daniels as a kind and cool dude. i've bought from him w/ 100% happiness he's a bad ass mofo.
peace,

When are we gonna see it on your site? The OW that is.

both, but rocker pedals exclusively right-footed.
i ususally switch with right, but wah with left. I think. Come to think of it, I think I sometimes use both...never given it much thought.
It depends on what my stituation is. I'm a lefty player, but in one band where I don't front the band, I stomp with my left. I'm naturally right handed though. So when I front a band I set everything up so that I can stomp with my right. It sounds very strange I know. :wink:
Right always. But now I feel challenged to try and use both. :cry:
Hey Tom,that would be great!
If i can afford it there is a new customer typing this :wink:
Greetings,Ed
I use both, depending on the order wich I´m switching.
My board is, from left to right: (effects brand and model change, but I try to keep the kind the same)
delay, chorus, fuzz, autowah, wah, smallstone(this is a keeper), volume
So if I'm playing dirty, and want to swiths to clean-delay, I use both feet simultaneously.
Other timer I wah with my left, 'cause I want to turn the smallstone on afterwards...sometime with my right, tu turn my distortion on....
I see you point, I think. Are you polling this to figure where to put the swith in each box? If so, keeping them ALL centeres will give you the same distance between stomps as keeping them all aligned to one side...you see?
I would prefer to stomp with my right, but if I use a music stand at church, I put my pedalboard on the left of the stand and use my left foot. I started grade school as a southpaw, but I was "converted" to a rightie. I play guitar rightie. If space permits, I stomp rightie. When I have my wah built, I'll have to stomp rightie whether I have a music stand or not. I don't think I'll have the foot dexterity to control a wah with my left foot.
Right: Wah and most stompboxes.
Left: Those stompboxes I can't get to in time with my right foot.
But the way the stage is at the last place, I ended up putting the efkts board to my left, half under a pool table...away from the 'stage idiots'...one drunk guy 'decided' to lie down on my pedalboard...it didn't look very comfortable...lol...went backways Over the monitor and onto my pedalboard ... Ppl's eyes are drawn to it, then the body just seems to follow...there are three instances that stand out [in the last two months] where ppl are trippin over, or falling onto my pedalboard...no damages to pedals...the one girl had to be carried away though, and I always carry a spare ToneB or FF...
So I used my left foot for everything except wah wah...the left foot is too 'dumb' for wah..the right foot is like hardwired and takes much less brain power for it to function properly.
If it's any help...more of my recent builds have the switch on the right side /front....[the rest switch in the middle/front] none on the left side.
Right...
but I hope that one day, if I work hard and apply myself, I'll be using both feet...Man, I can't wait!!!
:roll:
I am a right-handed guitar player and I use my right foot for pedals. I also use my right foot in front for slalom water skiing......But I have been known to also use my left in front...

soon bro,
- tom
when i use my double wah pedals, i use both feet at the same time!
it looks like im skiing, i had trouble at first, so i made a strapping
system that i put my feet into so that i dont fall over!
just kidding.....
right foot mostly (wah, volume pedal, etc) but i do use my left foot
for my a/b boxes...
What I'm wondering is why this is so important... :)
Quote from: smoguzbenjaminWhat I'm wondering is why this is so important... :)
device layout for many controls.
when i sit and play i use both feet all the time. when i'm standing i alternate. when i'm sing'n and play'n i only use my right foot.
peace,
-tom
That makes sense. Man I gotta learn to sing and play, a bunch of friends made their own album last week and they can sing and play at the same time :D check out their website //www.slinkey.tk!

i listened to one song,.......not bad :D you can hear what the singer is say'n , huh. what a good idea. :P
- tom
Yeah I really like 'em :) The singer is really great :D
Just a side note about one thing I don't like: footswitches too close to knobs or switches.
I am not very precise when I hit a footswitch... so I could kill a switch or a pot easily if it was too close to the footswitch.
That's why I bought a remote footswitch for a project I have in mind that could have many pots or switches...

Right foot only
